Clean Joke

[Mac_Attack]

> It is hard to find a joke today without a dirty word or two in it, but
> here is one:
>
> Two tall trees, a birch and a beech, are growing in the woods. A small
> tree begins to grow between them, and the beech says to the birch, 'Is
> that a son of a beech or a son of a birch?'
>
> The birch says he cannot tell, but just then a woodpecker lands on the
> sapling.
>
> The birch says, 'Woodpecker, you are a tree expert. Can you tell if
> that is a son of a beech or a son of a birch?'
>
> The woodpecker takes a taste of the small tree and replies, 'It is
> neither a son of a beech nor a son of a birch. It is, however, the best
> piece of ash I have ever poked my pecker into.'
>
> Now wipe that smile off your face. And pass it on!
